Impressive with its large, antler-like mandibles, the stag beetle is one of the largest beetles in Europe. It is found in forests, parks, and sometimes gardens, where it flies heavily at dusk during the summer.
In males, these spectacular mandibles are not used for feeding, but to impress rivals during fights to seduce a female. Surprisingly, despite its imposing appearance, the stag beetle is harmless to humans. Its larva lives for several years in dead wood before transforming into an adult, thus playing an important role in the recycling of organic matter.
This Papo figurine realistically reproduces the stag beetle: robust body, imposing mandibles and precise details. An ideal model to complete a collection of insects and garden animals, invent nature stories or educate children about the importance of insects in the balance of nature.

Once Upon a Time There was Papo
For almost 25 years now, Papo has been helping children to grow and to discover the world around them. Childhood is a time of dreams and adventures, and this was what we had in mind when we decided to create our first princesses, princes, dragons and knights. Thanks to the originality of its products and the extreme care taken with product quality and safety, Papo has won children and parents over the years. Papo is now a reference in the world of model figures and continues to develop new ranges to inspire the imaginations of children all around the world. In an age of mass consumption and throwaway goods, Papo continues to produce fine quality toys that last over time and can be passed on from generation to generation.
